The Prison Phoenix Trust’s Privacy Policy

Who is responsible for managing my information? This website is owned and maintained by The Prison Phoenix Trust. We are responsible for the collection and proper management of any personal information individuals submit through the website response forms, the yoga teacher feedback form, or when you get in touch with us by other means for any reason, for example to request our materials or support through the post. We will keep your personal details secure and use the information you provide consistently with applicable privacy and data protection laws and the terms of this Privacy Policy.

What information do you collect? If you provide it, we collect your name, address, email address and phone number. If you submit a teacher background form, we store information from that form as well. We also collect website usage information using cookies. When someone visits www.theppt.org.uk we use a third party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website.

How do you use my information? The information you provide may be used in a number of ways, for example: to enable us to keep you updated about our activities, via our quarterly newsletter and annual appeal letter; to help us find a suitable yoga teacher when an opportunity presents itself in prison or other secure setting; or to provide you with the information or materials you ask for; or to honour any contract you have with us.As part of the registration process for our quarterly e-newsletter, we collect personal information. We use that information for a couple of reasons: to tell you about things you’ve asked us to tell you about; to contact you if we need to obtain or provide additional information; and to check our records are correct. We don’t rent or trade email lists with other organisations or businesses.
We use a third-party provider, MailChimp, to deliver our e-newsletter. We gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies to help us monitor and improve our e-newsletter. For more information, please see MailChimp’s privacy notice. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the Mail Chimp messages, or by emailing us.

Who will you share my information with? We do not share your information with any other charities, organisations or individuals. If you are a yoga teacher and have agreed to go into a prison for a taster workshop with us, we will need to give the prison your name, address and date of birth for their security purposes.

How long will you hold my information for? We keep information for as long as we need it for the purposes for which it was collected. If you opt-out of the newsletter or the annual fundraising letter, we keep your information to ensure that we don’t inadvertently contact you in the future.

About Us

The Prison Phoenix Trust encourages prisoners in the development of their spiritual welfare, through the practices of meditation and yoga, working with silence and the breath.

We offer personal support to prisoners around the UK and the Republic of Ireland through teaching, workshops, correspondence, books and newsletters – and to prison staff too. We work with people of any faith, or of none, and honour all religions.
